I can't stand the uglyness. I've spent two hours in CAST to create a decent looking sim and I failed hard.
The so-called advanced sliders are fail especially in the eyes and lips departments. TS2 Bodyshop is way better.
I couldn't give almond shaped eyes and full lips to my sim.
I played for a few hours but TS3 didn't impress too much.
Sims are ugly and it's difficult for me to play if I can't stand the sims of the neighborhood.
